Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this money has been allocated in response to a study that the RCMP provided to this government several years ago indicating that they needed an extra 26 positions in the Northwest Territories to meet their service requirements. This is in part a fulfillment of that request. To finish off the provision of positions will require us to again increase the number of officers in next year's budget. It is the RCMP who proposed where the officers will be stationed and how they will operate the service in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
